A finale that both hoped would be their last battle
Neither knew that for one of them it would be their last of life's hassle
Letting out in one last attempt a battle cry
Purple and silver blurred all around
As one, Red and Black jumped into the fray
In the middle of the battle, one was beat down
With a saddened scream, the lone standing hero fought without care
Their only thought was of the fallen partner lying in the dismal lair.
A bright purple light and the fight ended.
The villain defeated, unconscious with wounds untended.
Red quickly looked for her fallen comrade
She soon found him, the thoughts in her head she quickly forbade.
Red liquid flowed from him in beautiful but grotesque streaks
Red, like the color of the mask she wore as tears began to leak.
Quickly she grabbed her partner, her friend.
Crying as she left, over the fact she wasn't quick enough to defend.
Green light lit up the hidden alley
Green light revealed the true identity of the one who lost his vitality.
Shimmering stars making a captivating sight abovew
Below, a grief stricken heart screamed over a lost love
Memories passed of every moment they shared
Each one filled her more and more with angst and she dispaired
With loving and gentle motions she caressed his blood matted locks
as waves of emotions covered her in the aftershock.
Her earrings gave off their last warning
but she barely moved in her mourning
In his hands he clasped her lucky charm
The very thing that was supposed to save them from harm.
She saw the lucky item still locked in his grasp
With the last ounce of hope she gasped.
"MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!"
Little bugs flew around in a dazzling display
As they covered her and her beloved, she looked down afraid.
His chest remained still, not a movement to be seen
Her hope was abashed as she took in the dismaying scene
In a flash of pink, the red hero disappeared and in her place was a sorrowful teen.
She cradled her love, her partner, her mon ami.
She cared not for the floating beings above her.
The only thing she could do is call for succor.
As she heard footsteps running towards her, she lowered her head
Lips an inch apart she whispered the secret she held
and as she begun to let her grief overtake her, she pressed her lips to his cold, lifeless ones
The weight of her sorrow hit her like a hundred tons.
People quickly gathered round them, many quickly calling for help
The sirens could be heard coming down the street with a sharp yelp
The teen hero was besotted to let go of her beloved as emergency personnel moved
She clung tightly to the form bloodied and bruised.
In the end, she stayed with him
The ride to the hospital was incredibly grim
People asked her questions, questions she could not answer without revealing her alter ego
How would people believe her to be their great superhero?
The night passed ever so slowly
By the morning, her misery had consumed her wholly
Word of their misfortune spread quickly
People near to them both came, but all they did was make her feel guilty
When her parents arrived to bring her home
She painstakingly cut the string that bound her heart to him
Knowing that this could be the last she saw her beloved handsome.
Days passed and people were curious.
Neither butterfly nor hero were to be found
All the gossip they passed made the red hero furious.
She remained in her room, crying out her grief
Her friends and parents understood that this phase would not be brief
The news barely made mention of that fateful night
Though what happened hurt her, she wished some of the truth could be brought to light.
During the summer a few months later
She and her parents were on a out of country vacation
The pain had lessened but the sadness was still there.
She often woke from nightmares of that lair.
She returned home at the beginning of fall
and on her first night home, she heard a soft knock on her balcony wall
Warily peeking out she saw a pair of green eyes
At the sight, she struggled to make her hope not rise
"My Lady, my princess, my love"
A sweet, familiar voice said to her from above
Tears ran down her cheeks as she climbed to her love.
Quickly she grabbed the Chat dressed in black.
Hugging the leather clad hero, she cried as he held her back
Green light flashed and in front of her stood the one who she believed had died.
Gently cupping her check with his hand, he lifted her face to gaze up at him.
With a gentle whisper
He told his reply to her
"I love you too My Lady"
Shimmering stars making a captivating sight above
Below, two people embraced as their hearts melded in love.

I was originally going to make this a complete angst fic but even I couldn't bear to see Adrien/Chat Noir die.
My reasoning for Chat Noir/Adrien coming back is really based on the Dark Cupid episode where true love's kiss conquers all. There was still magic residue from the Miraculous Ladybug Cure lingering within him and when Marinette kissed him, the love she had for him brought him back but in a few months time as the soul was being healed, not just the body.
As I wrote this, I began to choke up over it. Please let me know how you guys liked it. Leave a review!
